The Center for Leadership Excellence presents a workshop with Colin Snider and Carl Frazier...

About the Workshop:

When a church has a lead/associate pastor team or multiple staff, how can everyone agree on vision and mission? How much room does each person have to live into ministry? How much direction and independence should a lead/senior pastor offer? All of these leadership elements contribute to how well lead/senior pastors build relationships with other staff, especially appointed associates.

Carl Frazier and Colin Snider have lived into this partnership, each serving as an associate and later as a lead (once together, with Carl as lead and Colin as associate). In this webinar, they will explore issues of staff relationships and mentoring. 

While this session focuses on the lead/associate relationship, Carl and Colin will share insights about collaborative ministry that will be helpful to pastors working with staff.

Who Should Come?

• Lead/Senior and Associate Pastors—we encourage you to attend together!
• Pastors with staff
• S/PPRC members
